Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, also known as Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call, is a game in the Megami Tensei series of Role Playing Games.

Plot
A young Japanese boy (whose name is chosen by the player but is named "Naoki" in the radio play) and his two friends visit their ill teacher in the hospital but find it deserted. They witness an event called "The Conception" where all humans outside the hospital are killed to prepare the world for its rebirth. A young boy appears and gives Naoki demonic power and he becomes the Demi-Fiend. He sets out to play a part in the Conception but, as a demon, he can't design the new world but can ally with someone who can.

Dante's Role
He is asked by someone to hunt down a number of demons, including the main character, the Demi-Fiend. Such being the case, he will encounter the main character several times in the game as a formidable enemy. In the Third Kalpa of the optional Labyrinth of Amala dungeon, Dante will chase and shoot you as you try to run and will fight you again at the end. In the Fifth Kalpa, you are given the chance to hire Dante into your main party.

Dante only appears in the "Maniax" version of the game. He still owns the double-sided coin he had in Devil May Cry 2 and weilds Alastor and Ebony & Ivory.

On Dante's inclusion in the game, designer Kozy Okada said: "One of the staff members in Japan, who happened to be a big fan of the DMC series, came up with the idea of including Dante from Capcom's in an upcoming SMT game. At first I thought it was a crazy idea, but realized that Dante is a devil hunter and this might actually work out and presented the Nocturne game concept to Capcom."

In exchange for Dante's presence in Nocturne, Kazuma Kaneko the artist responsible for the character designs in the Shin Megami Tensei series was brought into the Devil May Cry 3 project to design the Devil Trigger forms.
